230 fold fluorescence enhancement by 3D Rhodamine B coated polystyrene photonic crystals

Eftekhari E., Li Q., Li X., Cole I.S., Li Q., Li X., Griffith University, AU

We report a 230-fold fluorescence enhancement with fluorescent polystyrene based three-dimensional (3D) colloidal photonic crystals (F-CPhCs) that can be readily fabricated over large areas. A simple and reproducible method was developed to synthesise novel fluorescent [...]

Three-dimensional Core@Shell Nano-Array Electrodes for Integrated Lithium-Ion Microbatteries

Mao Y., Sun X., Li Q., Lv Y., University of Texas-Pan American, US

In micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) and biomedical devices, the desired on-board power storage and delivery occur in exceptionally small geometric scales, where amount of energy stored on given footprint (J/mm2) precedes that in either unit weight [...]

Thermosensitive Vaginal Gel Containing PLGA-NTRI Conjugate Nanoparticles for HIV Prophylaxis

Rajca A., Li Q., Date A., Destache C., Creighton University School of Pharmacy & Health Professions, US

A critical component to the prevention of the sexual transmission of HIV is adherence to the prevention modality. We have conjugated nucleoside-reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) to a biocompatible polymer, PLGA using an amide bond. We [...]

A Simple Method to Prepare Template-removed Zeolite MFI Nanomaterials

Li Q., Wang J., Yuan H., Shanghai Second Polytechnic University, CN

A method of non-thermal, photochemical calcinations is described for an efficient and spatially controlled removal of the organic template in the preparation of zeolite MFI nanoparticles and thin films. High silica MFI nanoparticles and thin [...]
